Earlier, in reaction to the Supreme Court decisions on DOMA and California’s Proposition 8, Congresswoman Michelle Bachman said that the Supreme Court “can’t undo the Holy word of God.” Whatever you may think of that statement, when asked for a response by ABC’s John Parkinson, the self-proclaimed devout Catholic House minority leader said, “who cares?”
While we could not expect Nancy Pelosi, who claims to be a practicing Catholic but in truth is a complete hypocrite, to respectfully decline to answer such a ridiculous question, we can certainly wonder why Parkinson even asked her the question in the first place.
Remember this?
During the press conference, in response to a reporter’s question, Pelosi was upset to be asked about the gruesome abortions and infanticide perpetrated by Kermit Gosnell and indicated she opposes a bill a committee approved to ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Pelosi falsely called the bill a ban on all abortions:
They would make it a federal law that there would be no abortion in our country.
On the House’s efforts to stop late-term abortions, Pelosi made the ridiculous comments:
As a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred ground to me when we talk about this. This shouldn’t have anything to do with politics.
Maureen Ferguson, Senior Policy Advisor for The Catholic Association, blasted Pelosi’s comments in an email to LifeNews:
After witnessing firsthand the atrocious human rights abuses taking place inside America’s late-term abortion clinics it is amazing that this did not touch Nancy Pelosi’s heart. What we learned from the Gosnell trial and what we understand is going on inside other clinics is not only human rights abuse but it also puts women in harm’s way. The only difference between the Gosnell ‘after-birth’ abortions and legal late-term abortions is the location of the baby at the time of death. And contrary to Pelosi’s extreme claim that the Franks bill is ‘disrespectful’ to women, the majority of women are opposed to late-term abortions according to a recent Gallup poll.
